All three centurions are out of contract at the end of this season
game of a long month has an intriguing and potentially emotional mix of landmarks intermingled with renewing old acquaintances, farewells and maybe even goodbyes.
The 2019 World Cup and the bountiful Schmidt era may have had an anti-climactic ending, but he left an indelible legacy with Leinster and Ireland , as well as the breakthrough win over the All Blacks. Of course, the most emotional and loudest ovation of the day will be reserved for Cian Healy, who won three of his five Championship titles under Schmidt.
Only time well tell whether this will be the 134th and last time we will see Healy in an Irish jersey, and indeed whether it will be the 110th time we will see Peter O’Mahony in an Irish jersey. For that matter, last week’s cameo on the wing may yet prove to be the 120th and last time we will see Conor Murray playing for Ireland.
